Imam Khamenei Orders Iranian Officials to Resolve Economic Crisis

Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei ordered Iranian officials to urgently find solutions to overcome a crisis spurred by the re-imposition of US economic sanctions.

“There is no crisis and no problems in the country that we cannot resolve... Officials should find solutions to overcome the existing economic hardship and to disappoint the enemy by resolving it,” Fars news agency quoted the Imam as telling officials on Wednesday night.

“With unity we can overcome all crises.”

Imam Khamenei also said Iran could resist the pressure of US sanctions by relying on its own natural and human resources.

In May, US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of a 2015 international deal that aimed to curb Iran’s nuclear program and then re-imposed sanctions on Tehran in August.

Meanwhile, Trump plans to impose harsher sanctions in November on Iran’s oil and banking sectors.
